Windows 7: BSOD with Carbonite running in background

Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.

Seatools test did not find any errors with harddrive.
I ran the long test and Seatools followed up with the short test.
Both passed.
I'm thinking maybe it's a driver issue. Memory tests have not found any problems either.
